My very own Nutcracker

I found him in a cheap retail store, all alone, with a hole at the top of his hat where the ribbon should have been (he was supposed to be a Christmas tree decoration). It was love at first sight; I knew he was going to be mine.

So here he is — my very own personal puppet-like Nutcracker with moving arms and legs. I decided to keep him as my little companion (I don't have a single plush toy in my room to keep me company), so now he sits on my desk, beside my lamp, and keeps me safe while I work. :)
